missus has bought a broken gz125 to learn to ride on so naturally im in charge of getting it up and running. Got it through an MOT with an advisory for dodgy front wheel bearings and also its got an issue with an idle hang caused by a cracked inlet manifold.
No worries, order bearings and a new manifold.
Bearings come, I find out I dont have a 12mm allen key to take the front wheel out to do them, no worries, lets try the manifold.
Manifold that was sold as a gz125 marauder manifold doesnt fit and neither can I get the old one out. Ive even gone so far as to move the airbox out of the way to try and get an impact driver on the cheesehead posidrives to get them loose but they still rounded before coming loose. Seems to me like the sensible option here to replace a 10 quid part held in with 2 screws is to take the fucken engine out of the frame so I can get the impact on it on the bench or drill the bastards out.
Fuck it, beer oclock. I'll start ripping that out on bank holiday monday when the weather will invariably be too shit to want to ride my own bike. ____________________ own: 81 xs1100g...

I think it’s a splendid idea and had no idea such a thing were possible. Two small boys and your friend will be delighted and will never forget the arrival of Auntie Hellkat!
Of course, once you’ve done that, you’d be able to burble up the mountain and rattle the shutters in our village! Not much happens here so you’d be the talk of the town for months ____________________ Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right

I bet there's an M8 with a 12mm hex head on it somewhere on that bike. Jam two nuts on it and you're golden. |
Aye ive probably got a suitable bolt to jamnut in there but I decided bollocks to it i'll wait til Tuesday and bring a 12mm key home from work. Its not like its urgent, her CBT is the middle of next month. ____________________ own: 81 xs1100g...
